Mr. Leon John, Western Oak's Counselor, is one of the best liked teachers in the school. He serves as a friend and guide to all students as he seeks to place them in classes where they will be happy. He makes himself available to counsel students who are in scholastic trouble to .see if they need extra help or need to change a class. Mr. John, who has been teaching for 30 years, graduated from Oklahoma University in 1936 and was awarded a Master's Degree from Oklahoma University in 1941. The only time he left teaching was during the war when he worked for the army doing defense work in Wichita, Kansas. For three years he was a rural teacher in Southwestern Oklahoma. For the next 10 years he was a combination high school principal and history teacher in the same area. For the last seventeen years he served as a high school principal in three different schools. Mr. John changed to guidance and counseling in 1962 when he came to Western Oaks. He said he loves his work here better than any of the other teaching he has done. Mr. Leon John Counselor Mr. Nicholas Nidell has served as the assistant principal of Western Oaks since its opening in 1962. The main job of Mr. Nidell here at Western Oaks is to assist the principal in various ways, especially in the handling of disciplinary problems and working with the faculty and administration to help them solve the many problems they encounter in running a school. Mr. Nidell, who was born in Europe, attended the University of Indiana before World War II and earned his Bachelor and Master's Degrees at the University of Oklahoma. Presently he is working on his PhD, also at Oklahoma University. Although Western Oaks is a fairly new school, it has accomplished a great deal and has established many great traditions in the past four years under the leadership of men like Mr. Nidell.

For this reason, Western Oaks students are provided with the best teachers and facilities the school system can provide. Seventh graders take either mathematics or modern math, according to their mathematical ability, and modern math and composite math are offered to eighth graders. Ninth graders begin in a new mathematical system as they take algebra in their last year at Western Oaks. Composite math is also offered to freshmen.
